Imagine stepping into a place where time slows down, where the air is rich with the scent of the rainforest, and where each breath you take feels like a return to yourself. Mama Shanti Retreat is more than just a getaway—it’s an invitation to reconnect, to move, to breathe, and to immerse yourself in the healing power of nature.

Set in the lush Municipal Natural Park Teresopolis Mountains, just 1.5 hours from Rio de Janeiro, our retreat offers the perfect blend of structured practices and spacious freedom. Each day begins with an energizing morning yoga flow, followed by nourishing meals made with fresh, local ingredients. The afternoons offer time to explore the breathtaking landscape, whether it’s a hike to Serra dos Órgãos, a swim in the pool, or simply relaxing by the retreat grounds, soaking in the serenity of the jungle.

We integrate yoga, meditation, breathwork, and sound healing, creating a holistic experience that supports deep inner transformation. You’ll move through dynamic Vinyasa sessions, unwind with restorative Yin, and experience the power of breathwork and guided meditation to clear the mind and open the heart, held in a sacred and nurturing space.

But what makes Mama Shanti truly unique is the balance between guided experiences and personal exploration. This retreat is designed to meet you where you are—whether you’re here for deep healing, self-discovery, or simple relaxation, you’ll find a rhythm that feels right for you. With optional evening practices, journaling, and time to simply be, you’ll leave feeling lighter, more centered, and deeply refreshed.

Come breathe, move, and rediscover your inner peace in the heart of Brazil’s most stunning natural landscapes. This is your time. This is your space. Welcome to Mama Shanti.
